Minutes of the General Council meeting on 22 / 4 / 945
Upon the invitation of the Community Presidency, there convened at six o'clock on the evening of Sunday, corresponding to
22 April 945, at the headquarters of the Community Presidency, twenty-six members of the General Council, excluding
the President, to continue considering the items on the agenda of the meeting adjourned on 15 April 945. The
President opened the meeting and instructed the Secretary to read the minutes of the previous meeting. They were read, and the President asked
if anyone had an objection to the minutes; no objection occurred. Then he moved to the second item of
the agenda, which is the formation of a society to assist poor girls with marriage. Member Mr. Heskel
Yaqoub Murad spoke and pointed to the painful incidents that have begun to recur in recent days and the recourse of
poor girls to changing their religion or falling into the trap of seduction due to their despair of marriage. He said
that one of the important reasons standing as an obstacle to the ease of marriage is the dowry. He stated that he knows
that the men of the community have previously discussed the possibility of abolishing the dowry and banning it by legislation, but the project
did not succeed because its practical application appeared impossible. He said that the best means that can be resorted to in order to alleviate this
situation is to assist poor girls financially for marriage. The community used to have a committee performing this
work on a small scale, and the attempt can now be repeated on a larger scale. He explained that Mr. Heskel Ezra
Shoa is ready to provide one thousand dinars from the amount in his possession belonging to one of the dissolved
charitable societies to be the capital for this society. Permanent revenues can be secured for this society by allocating
the share of the Lay Council from the Ketubot revenues for this purpose, because the increase of Ketubot fees from
a half to one percent was done at the time for the purpose of avoiding the community's budget deficit then.
Now that the deficit has ended, there is nothing more just than allocating this fee, which is collected from marriage, to be spent
on facilitating marriage for poor girls. He said that the formation of such a society, which will take upon itself
finding other resources for the project, could lead to opening workshops and factories to train poor
girls in honorable professions that help them live with dignity and to marry. He added that there are
a number of zealous individuals ready to volunteer to work in this society.
He was followed by member Mr. Daoud Salman, who said that we must entrust this matter to a committee
to study it thoroughly, as it is not right to rush in such an important matter. What comes to mind,
for example, is that the formation of such a society might encourage young men to harass the girls' parents more than they do
now. He gave several examples of actual incidents, then added that the formation of such a society might be considered
a recognition and confirmation of the dowry by the Community Council at a time when reformers are seeking to get rid
of it. He said if we agree that teaching professions to girls is one of the ways that might save
girls, then why do we not encourage, for example, the Charitable Sewing Society, which shelters hundreds of girls, and we undertake their education?
Page 153
sewing, reading, writing, and additional lessons, and did it come to the knowledge of the proposers that there is a project on
the verge of realization to open vocational schools for female students, and he emphasized the necessity of referring the matter to a committee to study it
before taking a decision.
Mr. Munir Dankour spoke and drew attention to the fact that the General Council does not have the right to form an association because that
is subject to a permit from the Ministry of Interior.
Mr. Anwar Shaul also spoke, praising the idea and thanking the zealous ones whose chivalry prompted them to present
this proposal, supporting Mr. Daoud Salman in the necessity of being deliberate and studying the subject thoroughly, and said that he does not see
a necessity to form a special committee, as there is the Physical Council which can study the subject and present its proposal
to the General Council. Also speaking were Mr. Yamin Murad, Salim Ishaq, and Anwar Zilkha, then the two members,
Mr. Daoud Salman and Mr. Anwar Zilkha, submitted a proposal (to refer the issue of establishing an association for the marriage of girls
to the Physical Council to study it and present its findings to the General Council). The President then put this
proposal to a vote by naming individuals, and it was accepted unanimously. Then the session was adjourned <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> to another
date to consider the remaining items of the agenda.

The Honorable Head of the Israeli Community
Greetings and respect,
Reference to your letter No. 3486 dated 14 May 1945, attached with a copy of the minutes of
the meeting of the esteemed General Council held on 22 April 1945.
Our council warmly welcomes the idea of providing assistance to poor girls for marriage, but it
did not favor assigning this task to a sub-committee because that would mean burdening the community's treasury with a new burden
which it would undoubtedly struggle with. After carefully considering the matter, the Council thought it would be better if
some zealous individuals formed a society with a legal personality authorized by the government directly,
as is the case in other charitable societies such as the Nursing Mothers Relief Society, the Foundation for the
Blind Society, and the Charitable Sewing Society. Fortunately, the Council has been able to convince the
virtuous gentlemen who proposed the idea of its viewpoint and promised them that when the society is formed, it will spare no
effort in supporting and assisting it materially and morally. Indeed, a petition requesting the necessary permit
to form a society for this purpose along with the internal bylaws was submitted to the Ministry of Interior through Your Excellency,
and we are awaiting the result of this official process so that we may approach the esteemed General Council at the appropriate
time with a request to allocate an amount in the budget to help this society achieve its goals.
Sincerely yours.

Following up on our letter No. 7 / 946 dated 24 / 1 / 1946.
Since the time has now come to organize the new budget starting from
1 April 1946, our society hopes that your esteemed council will kindly allocate a grant
of at least five hundred dinars, as the important projects that
our society has resolved to undertake require significant sums of money, and bringing these
projects into effect is a very necessary matter, and our society is vigilant in carrying out
the aforementioned works. We hope that you will take this case into consideration and
provide us with the expected assistance from you, as you have previously and repeatedly promised.
With our further respects to your Excellency.

With reference to your letter in which you propose the formation of a committee to help poor girls
get married and your readiness to form this committee and begin work immediately.
The Lay Council welcomed this proposal, prompted by your zeal and magnanimity, in its meeting held on May 10, 945.
The Council studied the matter thoroughly and deemed that it would be
better if you formed a society licensed by the competent authorities according to the Law of Societies,
as is the case with other charitable societies like the Nursing Mothers Aid Society, the
Blind Consolation Society, and the Charitable Sewing Society. The Council, which welcomes the formation of such a
society, will spare no effort in supporting and aiding it materially and morally.
Please accept our respects.

His Excellency the President of the Honorable Israeli Secular Council
After greetings and respect.
Reference to your letter No. 3484 dated May 11, 1945.
In accordance with the opinion of your esteemed council, we submitted a request to the esteemed Ministry of Interior to form
an association under the name "Association for Assisting Poor Israeli Girls for Marriage." We are pleased to provide
Your Excellency with a copy of the license No. (22070) dated October 25, 1945
which we received from the aforementioned Ministry, and we will provide your esteemed council with a copy of the internal
bylaws of the association as soon as they are printed to be kept in your files.
The goals of the association, as explained in its bylaws, are not limited to distributing money to facilitate
the marriage of poor girls, but rather aim for much more than that. Our association will strive to address
this serious social problem in a deeper and more effective manner. Among our primary objectives is
preparing the means of living for poor girls through an honorable livelihood that may help them marry and fulfill marriage
and help them live with honor if they remain unmarried. We will do our best to open institutions
to teach poor girls professions and industries as much as the association's finances allow.
While we will reach out to the public for support through fundraising and holding
charity events, we cannot dispense with the assistance that the esteemed council promised us
in its letter referred to above. Such a vast project requires a stable source of income in addition
to the irregular income that comes from donations.
Therefore, we hope that the council will meet this request with sympathy and encouragement as expected,
and decide to allocate half of the Ketubot revenues to our association. It is fair and just that
this fee, which is collected from marriage, should be spent on encouraging marriage and saving girls from the painful fate
to which they descend due to their despair of marriage and their failure to obtain an honorable livelihood that helps them
to live. We hope that the council will make this decision in time to present it to
the esteemed General Assembly upon the ratification of the 1945 / 46 budgets.

Furthermore, we are ready for the honor of meeting the esteemed Council at any time it
appoints for that, to give more details about our project and to clarify our viewpoint
further than this if necessary.
Please accept the assurances of our highest respect: .

We also extend our special thanks and appreciation to Mr. Saleh Hayyim Shamash, who endured great troubles
and undertook difficult tasks by establishing the charity market twice, which brought to the association more than
two thousand Dinars, in cooperation with his other colleagues, most of whom are members of the
Alliance Alumni Club, including honorable young ladies and gentlemen. We also thank and appreciate the work of
Mr. Ishaq Battat and his colleagues, who did their best by holding three theatrical performances
that brought the association a good amount of money.
In conclusion, our association calls upon the honorable members of the community to be so kind as to assist it
with what their generous hands may grant and to lend it their attention, good faith, and appreciation, thus performing
one of the truest humanitarian acts to rescue these poor girls from the claws of
misery and the farces of hardship. To this noble work, we invite you and appeal to you. So help those
on earth, and He who is in heaven will have mercy on you.
The Management
Introduction
It is not hidden from you that our association was established for the purpose of rescuing poor
girls from misery and hardship, to the extent that this association can undertake the necessary
measures to reach the desired goal. It has financially assisted one hundred and fifty girls
in their marriages, and it has also established an institute "school" for teaching sewing and embroidery in addition to
the principles of reading and writing, and one hundred and fifty female students were accepted there. This institution
is proceeding well under the supervision of our association, which is satisfied with that. However, it must be explained
to you that the management and progress of this institution is a matter that requires amounts that cannot ⟦...⟧
continue as they are without them. It is worth noting that the financial aid received by
this association from the community fund is very small when compared to the required
expenses. In this situation, the association has no choice but to rely on what the honorable members of the
community donate to this humanitarian institution through financial assistance that it cannot dispense
with.
Our association offers its deep thanks to the two virtuous ladies "the wives of Mr.
Heskel Shohet and Mr. Salman Eliyahu Shaul" who took upon themselves the management of the
school's affairs from both the administrative and technical aspects, and each of them began to exert her utmost effort
to improve the status of the school and lead it to the forefront and progress. Our association urges you
to encourage the sewing work in this school for your needs of tailoring and sewing
according to the modern fashions you desire with all precision and perfection. A single visit ⟦to this⟧
institution is sufficient to prove what we have mentioned, and this encouragement for them helps with moral support ⟦in addition⟧
to its material support.
